Opposing Man

Taylor asked a while back, maybe 2 weeks, why weredogs do not rise up against people and claim our freedom. I think I addressed this before. There are several elements to this answer.

First, there are many billions more people than weredogs. But, even if we were of an equal number, we are no match for man. I probably could take Jack in one-on-one combat. Maybe. He is, after all, a former Ranger and a tough hombre. I am also a tough hombre, am former Special Forces, and outweigh him, in wereform, by about 40 lbs, and am several inches over his 6'4". But, that really does not matter. Humans are the ultimate predators. There is no one and nothing that can oppose them. They are formidable individually. But they a force of nature when they come together, especially to fight.

When homosapiens first arrived in Europe, form Africa, around 50,000 years ago, they were vastly outnumbered by neanderthals. When the war eventually started the outcome was inevitable. The neanderthals never had a chance. It took several thousand years. But, even though they were larger and stronger, the neanderthals were doomed. A group of humans is a killing machine, more lethal even than an experienced wolf pack.

We remember that. We know that. And there is also our millennia-long pact with man. Dog and Man have a pact. We are a pact, and a pack, a global pack. We cannot, would not, betray that.

I know I am going to get emails from wolves over this.
